About Me

I have a degree in radiological medical physics, a wonderful husband, an awesome little boy and a darling foster daughter. I've finished my first novel (a time-travel romance set in Scotland), revised the heck out of it, and am currently querying agents.

Been a While...

So...yeah.

2010 has been a rough year. Don't get me wrong, I know how blessed I am and how "smooth" my "rough" may seem to some. Even so, I spent the first half of the year in a fug of pressure, physical/mental burnout, and mild depression.

BUT! This blog is not meant to be a pity party. It's about my writing.

And I'm happy to say that in May I passed my board exams and am now a fully-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Radiology in Radiologic Physics. *big sigh of relief*

We got the new accelerator installed before then, in March. *big sigh of relief*

And I spent the summer cutting back on my tendency to over-obligation, resting, and doing things that made me happy (like taking up pottery--look for a link to my ceramics blog soon!).

All that has led me back here. I'm not done with Alec and Elspeth, oh no. I was about to send them out into the world but something was bugging me. Now I've taken long enough off to see what I need to do, which is a replot of the first 4 chapters. I have some ideas, and I think they'll make the book better received by most readers. They shouldn't take long, and I can't afford for them to. I've reentered the Golden Heart, and there's nothing like a deadline to get my BICHOK. *g*

Hi Jenny!Over-obligation, eh? I've got a few weeks' worth of that coming up, between work and freelance jobs and beta reads and... can't wait till my birthday when it should all be over - unless i keep saying yes to things!

Alec & Elspeth

One Highland Night

When a meteoritic crystal opens a wormhole on the grounds of ruined Kilchurn Castle in the Scottish Highlands, trapping American physicist Elizabeth Martin over 300 years in the past, her cheating ex-fiancé becomes the least of her worries. Pursued by the politically avaricious Earl of Breadalbane, who wants to use her “Sight” to further his consolidation of power, her only choice is to take refuge with an outlaw clan—a temporary measure until she can find a way to return to her own time.

That’s the plan, at least, until she finds in Alec MacGregor, her handsome protector, a love worth giving up everything she’s ever known.

But it is the late seventeenth century, and while Scotland is torn by the power struggles between supporters of the exiled King James and the English who would seek to rule them, she and Alec are swept into the intrigues of Earls and Kings, and events that could take their lives…or separate them forever.
